Anastasia

Product Information

How am I supposed to treat this story as a fantasy romance book with historical elements in it when half of it reads like an illustrated textbook on Russian history? One small correction: inaccurate history textbook.

Anastasia meets her love interest, Damien – because it’s not a retelling so Lark couldn’t use Dimitri but she had to come with A Good Russian Name (that’s irony) starting with the letter D, obviously – when he tries to kill her father. At the age of fourteen. Which, good, for him, honestly. The first part of the book is from Anastasia’s perspective, but then in later parents the POV shifts… but not every chapter? You know, maybe describing the war front was too much for Lark, because well, she would have to describe things well in the first place. While Holly and Byron say that they are going to just remain friends, it appears that actions speak louder than words here. The two are constantly hooking up and taking the clothes off the other one. It’s clear that they have incredible chemistry together and they probably would be a fantastic couple if things got serious. This book is a retelling! Oh, wait, in Lark’s words: it’s not. Anastasia is older (because god forbid she’s not the “legal age”) and has magical powers. She can speak with an animal (one) and can stop time. But it is a retelling, because the first illustration is Anastasia (the animation) fan art. Like, I kid you not. But then, in Lark’s words, it’s not a retelling? What is the truth, Sophie Lark!? Synopsis: “I’ll Protect Her… Whether She Likes It Or Not. Riona Griffin is gorgeous, intelligent, and iron-willed. My perfect woman, except she hates my guts. She thinks she doesn’t need anybody. But she needs me.

What do all these have in common? That's right. Head - completely covered. It was considered disgraceful to publicly flaunt your hair and wear men's clothing. Damien loved and comforted Anastasia in a way that made my heart MELT. And then the scene where he kissed her scars?? HOLY SHIT. The rest of them, perhaps. Anastasia was something different. She'd woven her way deep into my fibers. To cut her out would hurt me, too. There’s not much to see for the character development here. The main characters were extremely boring, bland, had 0 personality traits; making me yawn every now and then. If you’re writing a fantasy story that’s based on real life history – that’s actually using historical figures that lived and breathed as your characters – you have to have changes. You can say it’s Lark’s first fantasy book and I shouldn’t be so harsh on her but truly, when did we allow mediocrity to rule our opinion? When do we allowed authors who clearly don’t know how to hold the readers attentions – I see you, 5 stars GoodReads review who admit THEY SKIMMED THE BOOK BECAUSE ITS TOO LONG AND BORING – who don’t know how to write well to rule our judgment? I’ve seen fanfiction AU’s written with more care about fictional characters than Lark does with real historical figures.

It’s because of our dream of what we wish she could have been. What we wish Russia could have been. there's only one way to describe Damien and Anastasia's relationship in the beginning - passionate. they almost gave me whiplash after reading about them for a hot minute or two.

Anyone can do the same, actually. I could google Māori traditions and customs, for example, retell them in great detail, embellishing those with my own outlandish fantasies, and be proud of myself for being an accomplished researcher. Will reading Wikipedia articles about the Māori bring me close enough to understanding their culture, without ever coming face to face with their ways of life, so that I could write a book about them? Or more so, about one of their historical figures? I swear it wasn't my intention to review this book but it's been days, and Sophie's afterword still haunts my days and nights. 🤣 Me watching the heroine suffer unimaginable pain, knowing Damien will probably die when he finds out: secondly... there were too many damn characters and too many scenes that felt superfluous or overly descriptive. it's clear that sophie lark really enjoyed being in this setting and probably did some research and formed her own attachment to the real life story she wanted to fictionalize. but as a reader, i felt like i was swimming upstream a lot of the time. drowning in name after name of characters that i assume won't be important later on down the road because this is a romance... right? Sophi Lark wanted to create her own HEA for the Real story of Anastatasia we know, and I do think she did an amazing job of it. Though, The disney Anastasia already has a happy end and I'm perfectly satisified with that movie. So this book and no other content can quite reach that perfection in my opinion.

Anastasia by Sophie Lark | Waterstones

Through her beautiful prose, I felt the chill bite of cold on my cheeks, the warm joy of family in my chest, the first spark of new love that lights a fire in a young heart and the crushing pain of loss. I experienced the danger and confusion of a princess who thinks her world is perfect, only to have a rude awakening when the people she loves aren't quite as wise and selfless as she thought.An audiobook is a recording that is primarily of the spoken word as opposed to music. While it is often based on a recording of commercially available printed material, this is not always the case. It was not intended to be descriptive of the word "book" but is rather a recorded spoken program in its own right and not necessarily an audio version of a book. Just think about it: the real Anastasia was only seventeen when she and her family were murdered. She was just an innocent CHILD. A royal one but still just a teenage girl. If you read her biography, you'll see that her contemporaries described her as very boisterous, vivacious and childlike. She loved trading jokes (for which she often got punished), playing pranks and had an acting talent. When she got older, she spent a lot of time working at the hospital alongside her sisters. Apart from knitting items and buying medicines for wounded WW1 soldiers, they played cards with them, read books and wrote letters home under the soldiers' dictation. And I was caught up in a Mystical man's spell who seems to have all the answers. Who has miracles flowing from his hands but blood on his lips. He drew me in even when the shiver down my spine never fully went away. He's charming and charismatic and too good to be true for a desperate family. A family who seems to have all the power in the world but can't save one precious son...
